This is a poem that I wrote for a dedication that was held today in one of my best friend's memory. Sarah passed away last December unexpectedly, and she will always remain in my heart. We had a beautiful day for the dedication and I just know she was smiling brightly down upon all who were gathered. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Memories of You A friend’s love cannot be measured In months or in years Nor in the amount of laughter shared During many late night cheers. A friend’s love is measured By the special things you did Sharing your friends, family, and love, The things that made you, splendid. Summer camp was where we met I smile as I look back through the years Who in the world could ever forget You, Christy, and I- The Three Musketeers. Arts and Crafts was our hangout A place to relax and have fun Mornings spent laughing and gossiping about The guys and the hearts they’d won. We became so much like sisters Together, yet usually apart The phone lines daily would purr As we shared yet another heart to heart. Special weekends with family Will always remain in my mind From sleepovers being sillynilly To surprise parties from time to time. Our lives may not have always been easy Through all my fears you held my hand Sometimes standing in the shadows But always there as my best friend.

Dawn this is a wonderful piece "from the heart"... I thought you had another week before you presented this poem - So I apologize for allowing my own schedule to interfere... But I truly think your words from the heart are perfect just as they are. You were a wonderful friend for her... Nicely done... |

There is love in friendship, just as there's friendship in love. This is a beautiful tribute, and I have a feeling that just writing it brought you comfort as well as setting the memory even more permanently in your heart. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Dawn, Treasured friendships are always full of memories, and through these memories we grow closer to our friends and others. Even though special people in our lives happen to leave us, they are still alive in our hearts as long as we cherish these memories. You have written a beautiful poem here showing us all how precious Sarah was to you, and I can tell she will always be there with you. Sometimes we have to follow a stronger voice, even if it's silent. |
